Re: Brake Fluid change...

u pretty much need two people to do it properly.

one person pumping and the other person opening/closing the bleeder valve...

then put some more fluid in (make sure the reservoir doesnt run dry) and keep bleeding untill u see clean new fluid.

do that for every wheel in this order: front driver, front passenger, rear passenger, rear driver.

Re: Brake Fluid change...

u can also look at buying some speed bleeder valves (replace ur stock bleeder valves) and that will make ur car's bleeding job turn into a 1 man 5 min bleeding job (yes 5mins for all 4 wheels)
